En Vau
It could be considered as the perl of the Calanque: The climbing is excellent and the location is spectacular. And this makes it also very crowded, for climbers and not. During the week end the beach is full of people, so the climbing routes. About protection, most routes are recently renewed, but it's a good idea to bring a set of nuts and maybe a few small cams. |

★★ La Saphir
One of the most classic routes in d'en Vau. Due to its age and popularity, the polish of this route is as extraordinary as the views you get on it. Listed as 4c or 5a in some guidebooks, it is probably closer to 5c from a modern point of view, taking into account the vanishing foot holds. 5 pitches, but commonly done in 4: First steep pitch (4c/5a), second "ridge walk" pitch around 2 (in the middle of ridge there is another anchor), linking third and fourth pitch up to half of the headwall (5a and then ~5c, 5a originally), and final pitch (4c, 3+ originally). On the headwall, there are two variations right of the original line, both graded at 5c. Descent: Follow the cairns until you find the hiking paths up on the plateau. You're one the wrong trail if the rock is not polished under your feet. From the plateau, go down again to the beach or walk out. |
